Volunteering
The Mt. Hood National Forest works with many partners to deliver volunteer stewardship activities. Connecting with one of these partners is the best way to pursue volunteer opportunities on National Forest lands. See the links below for more information.
Additional volunteer opportunities across the country on public lands can be found at www.volunteer.gov.
For more information on our partners that offer volunteer opportunities, or to find out how to become one of those partners, please contact Rachel LaMedica at rachel.lamedica@usda.gov or (503) 668-1776.
